A lot of people in our Fitness Kickboxing program are looking to also slim down. Here are 3 habits that'll get in your way, and make it almost impossible... #1: Too much sugar If you eat packaged, processed foods... there's probably a LOT more sugar in your diet than you realize. Check out the nutrition facts and try to keep that number down as much as possible. #2: Daily Dessert A small, bite-sized dessert every day is okay (like a square from a chocolate bar). But a large dessert every day has calories and ingredients that go straight to your belly. #3: Lack of exercise. Come to kickboxing or martial arts class more often. Do your favorite workout more often. Exercise every ....

If you could live a longer, healthier life by taking a small pill each day, you'd do it wouldn't you? You’d be crazy not to! With this fact in mind, the incredible growth of dietary supplements makes sense. It's estimated one out of every three Americans currently takes some sort of nutritional supplement each day. According to government statistics, more than $11 billion is spent each year on vitamins and minerals in the U.S. alone! This extreme interest in health and nutrition is, unfortunately, fueled by false advertisement. The Internet, television, and product labels make claims not backed by science, fooling millions and reaping a sizable paycheck. And in America, ....

Found an old video of Roberto Hanshi Serrano winning a Gold Medal for Team USA in the 2006 Eskrima World Championships! CLICK HERE TO SEE VIDEO Eskrima, one of the styles taught at Martial Arts America, is from the Philippines and utilizes rattan sticks as a training tool that translates it skills to edged weapons from daggers to swords. These skills allow students to better defend themselves against attackers with weapons. #HeCanStillDoThat #StickFighting #Eskrima #Kali #Arnis #Worlds #WorldChampionship #WorldChampion #GoldMedal #TeamUSA #WEKAF #ILoveMArtialArts #BlackBeltLifestyle #TeamMAA #MAA ....

CALORIES & EXERCISE 101 Calories are the amount of energy in food. When you do not use the energy it is stored as fat. This happens when you take in more calories than you burn off through daily activities. Exercise increases this calorie burn off and reduces the amount of fat stored. It is recommended to do at least 30 minutes to 1 hour a day of physical exercise. Let's look at what activities burn the most amounts of calories in 60 minutes. Kickboxing = 860 Jogging = 490 Bicycling = 420 Walking = 245 Important Stat: Nearly one in three children in America are overweight or obese.

Happy New Year from all of us here at Team MAA! The start of the year is a crucial time… It’s a unique window of opportunity to take the right actions that will set you up for the rest of the year. In this window of opportunity, you have two choices. To settle or to take action. For most people, they will let another year slip by. It will be a different year with the same excuses. They’re going to continue settling, continue going through the same bad habits they know they need to change, continue to get stepped on by the same people, avoid the challenges they know are holding them back. They’ll start off their 2019 with good intentions… ....

Beyond proud of my Little Dragon who was awarded his yellow belt today! Thank you to the staff of Martial Arts America for helping him grow, building confidence and independence along the way! The look on Matthew's face when he got that belt was priceless! He knew he had accomplished something great!

Simply, AWESOME, great instructors who really care about you and encourage you to do your best no matter what fitness level you're at. I joined kickboxing 3 years ago and said goodbye to the jelly belly and hello to a six pack of abs. A year later I started the Martial Arts program that not only created self-discipline but gave me the confidence to protect my family and myself. MAA is constantly enhancing their facility, fitness, and martial arts programs so you will never get stuck in a rut. I will recommend MAA to everyone.
